Taixin modern service industry fund manager Dai Yuhong told our reporter According to Dai Yuhong, the health service industry is facing significant development opportunities The state will foster relevant supporting industries and accelerate the development of key industries such as medical treatment, drugs, instruments and traditional Chinese medicine Under the guidance of relevant policies, the integration and upgrading of the pharmaceutical industry are expected to accelerate In the view of many insiders, with the continuous improvement of the income level of Chinese residents, the constant acceleration of the upgrading of consumption structure, and the increasing requirements of people for the quality of life, the health industry will show broad prospects Health industry is a new industry with huge market potential According to Liu Zhanglin, vice president of China Chamber of Commerce for import and export of medical and health care, in the future, the development focus of China's medical and health industry will shift from treatment oriented to prevention oriented, and from infectious disease prevention oriented to chronic disease prevention oriented In 2013, the scale of China's large-scale health industry is expected to be close to 2 trillion yuan, and if medical and health expenditure is included, it will be close to 4 trillion yuan "By the end of the 12th Five Year Plan in 2016, the scale of China's health industry is expected to be close to 3 trillion yuan, ranking first in the world." Liu Zhanglin said The data shows that the health service industry, including medical care, rehabilitation and health care, is an important part and weak link of modern service industry According to the situation in the United States, health services is the largest industry in the United States, accounting for 17.6% of the GDP in 2009 "Health industry is a compound industry with a wide range of radiation, a large number of employment and a large role in stimulating consumption It has an important function of stimulating the growth of domestic demand and ensuring the improvement of people's livelihood." Li Zuojun, deputy director of the Institute of resources and environmental policy of the development research center of the State Council, told our reporter In Li's view, the rapid development of China's health industry is attributed to various reasons "In terms of consumption demand, with China's per capita nominal GDP over 6000 US dollars, China's household consumption has entered a period of structural upgrading The service consumption represented by health will continue to expand, and the demand for health consumption will increase substantially." Li said Li Zuojun believes that in terms of population, in 2012, the number of the elderly population in China reached 194 million, and the aging level reached 14.3% It is expected that the number of the elderly population in 2013 will break through the 200 million mark, and the arrival of the aging era will further release the market demand for health care and other health industries Capital has seen the great potential of health industry On September 2, meinian health industry (Group) Co., Ltd., the largest group of physical examination and health services in China, announced to obtain three joint strategic investments from Carlyle investment group, China Ping An insurance (Group) Co., Ltd and Kaihui Sino French fund, with a total investment of 300 million yuan This is the second round of large-scale financing completed by meinian health industry (Group) Co., Ltd after receiving Carlyle's capital injection in August 2012 "The continuous changes in population structure and the strengthening of health awareness have created a strong market demand for high-quality preventive health examination services Therefore, Carlyle is very optimistic about the growth potential of China's preventive health care sector " Said Feng Junyuan, managing director of Carlyle investment group To promote "healthy development" of health industry although health industry is a sunrise industry, in the view of many insiders, there are still some factors restricting the healthy development of health industry "China 's health industry is still in the initial stage of development, there are four main problems." Xu Huafeng, vice president and Secretary General of China Health Care Association, said According to Xu Huafeng's analysis, the problems in four aspects mainly include: the laws and regulations are not perfect, which makes it impossible to rely on them, and there are no rules to follow; the administrative body is not in place, and there is a vacuum in the supervision of departments; the traditional concepts affect the masses' scientific acceptance of modern medical and health care products and services, and the sense of market rationality needs to be strengthened; the technical foundation is weak, and the personalized services are insufficient Therefore, Xu Huafeng suggested that we should strengthen the guidance and support to the health industry when revising the guidance catalogue of industrial structure adjustment and the catalogue of investment projects approved by the government At the same time, we will introduce and improve policies and regulations on health industry, improve social organization construction, encourage and support industry associations to formulate and implement industry rules and regulations, technical standards, job training, etc., and guide and standardize industrial development Make clear industrial support policies and supporting support in finance, taxation, finance, land, environmental protection, etc "In the upsurge of health industry, many places and enterprises have put forward ambitious investment plans Disordered development, repeated construction and other phenomena are common." Therefore, in Li zuojing's suggestion, we should strengthen the unified industry management as soon as possible, formulate the medium and long term plan for the development of national health industry, build a scientific health industry system and industrial layout structure, and make the health industry become a new growth point of stimulating domestic demand and an important direction of industrial structure upgrading In Li's view, at present, China's health industry laws and regulations are not perfect, the relevant standard system lags behind, there is a certain degree of medical trust crisis, food safety, health products over publicity and other serious problems, leading to the lack of consumer confidence in China's health industry Therefore, we must improve laws and regulations, improve standards, strengthen law enforcement and other measures to maintain a good market order in the health industry Li also suggested promoting the innovative development of health industry We should carry out scientific and technological innovation, promote the integration of high-tech industry and health industry, transform and upgrade the traditional health industry, and innovate and develop new health industries such as digital health, telemedicine and gene detection "At the same time, we need to innovate industrial services, promote the transformation of health industry from health care oriented to health management oriented, derive diversified and multi-level health service industry, and form a health service development model suitable for China's national conditions." Li said.
